Blood cultist turned a True Believer, Usto helps run the Lumotar Community Centre in Greybark and spread the good word of her goddess. She is horribly scarred but has an angelic voice. Right now she is also instructing her former cultist boss Michael to get a better life. The two have a certain degree of animosity between them as Michael made Usto scar herself in the first place, back when they were Sister Blood and Brother Dread.

Lily Snowhite was her mentor and the one that brought her around from the cults; she harbours a grudge against Corvos as he and his mentor killed Lily in cold blood.

She recently read through her book of hymns, finding a note from Lily on the last page: if she sang a certain hymn with the high notes, she wouldn't be so helpless in a fight. Maybe Lily wasn't quite as dumb as he seemed!

When you weave a performance into a basic spell, choose an ally and an effect:

•Heal 1d8 damage

•+1d4 forward to damage

•Their mind is shaken clear of one enchantment

•The next time someone successfully assists the target with aid, they get +2 instead of +1

Then roll+Cha. ✴On a 10+, the ally gets the selected effect. ✴On a 7-9, your spell still works, but you draw unwanted attention or your magic reverberates to other targets affecting them as well, GM’s choice.

When you first encounter an important creature, location, or item (your call) covered by your bardic lore you can ask the GM any one question about it; the GM will answer truthfully. The GM may then ask you what tale, song, or legend you heard that information in.

When you speak frankly with someone, you can ask their player a question from the list below. They must answer it truthfully, then they may ask you a question from the list (which you must answer truthfully).
